Rangers rarity.

It was a rare night for the Rangers. They displayed a rare ability to come from behind, a rare ability to score late in a game, and a rare ability to score with two outs. Early on, this one looked like yet another Rangers loss. Caleb Bouschley was making an […]


Rangers fall again.

With 35 games left in the season and the Rangers out of the playoff picture, it’s time to start turning attention to how the Rangers will look next season. There’s a good chance four of the Rangers starters will not be with them in 2026: Josh Jung, Adolis García, Jonah […]


Same story, different night.

Another game, another disappointing offensive performance. The Rangers inability to have a sustained rally emerges once again. Texas got eleven hits. Ten of them, though, were singles. Which meant they were playing station to station. And that meant Kansas City was able to end any semblance of a rally with […]


Eovaldi doing something special.

With thirty-six games left, the Rangers move on to Kansas City to play four games against a Royals team that leapfrogged them in the wild card race. Then they play three against the Guardians, who have also passed them in the wild card race. Beating Toronto yesterday helped Texas avoid […]


Jon Gray blues.

Jon Gray was put on waivers on Thursday. Nobody claimed him. A team had forty-eight hours to pick him up. Nobody did.  So, the Rangers kept him. They even pitched him yesterday. He gave up four runs in 2.1 innings. That kind of performance is why they put him on […]


Relax, these games don’t matter.

Remember, these are just glorified exhibition games. They mean nothing. Relax. Don’t let your blood pressure rise. The Rangers 2025 playoff run is over. It’s all paperwork from here on out. The most frustrating season, capped by the most frustrating trade deadline, came to an emotional end on Wednesday when […]


Rollercoaster season.

Marcus Semien had a bad first half two months of the season. On May 28, he was batting .173 and had been dropped to the bottom of the order. Then, out of the blue, on May 30, he went 4-for-4. He had another four-hit game on July 10, going 4-for-5. […]


The end.

At 61-61, the Rangers have forty games left. Any hope that they could make the playoff went sailing over the right field wall in the top of the ninth yesterday, turning a 4-3 Rangers lead into a 6-4 Rangers loss. While they are not officially eliminated from playoff contention, yesterday’s […]


What the Rangers are.

You knew it wouldn’t last. You knew it was too good to last. The Rangers offense and never-say-die spirit from Monday didn’t carry over Tuesday. It couldn’t carry over Tuesday because those random acts of offense are just that, random.  Fact is, .220 hitters are .220 hitters for a reason, […]


Where did that come from?

All season, the pitching has bailed out the offense. Nobody’s pitching has been better than Nathan Eovaldi. And nobody’s offense has been worse than the Texas Rangers. On the night Eovaldi has his one bad game of the year, he gives up five runs in just five innings and Jon […]
